inevitably sharpen. In contrast to the primary arsenals of the U.S.-Soviet Cold War, this tech-fueled Gray War is primarily being fought with “dual-use” technologies developed by private companies and for civilian purposes. The reason has to do with the inverse relationship between the degree of destructiveness of technology and

Gray War. But part of what makes this conflict unique—what makes it “gray”—is the extent to which its primary weapons are based on “dual-use” technology, commercial products that can be turned to military ends. The nature of dual-use systems is also what makes the growing rift between the Hill

Chinese companies had been involved in about 16 percent of all tech venture deals in 2015, part of an aggressive strategy of transferring dual-use technology to America’s competitors.82 Dual-use technology is not a new concept. Nuclear fission—which can power a city or level it—is dual-use. So are global positioning

beyond traditional military hardware. The weapons of the Gray War are algorithms and data, and our industrial base must take into account the centrality of dual-use technology. That could mean shifting key medical supply chains to Mexico or manufacturing servers in Germany, far from Beijing and its doctrine of civil-military fusion

intelligent. For the most part, discussions of ethics in AI and technological advances take place in different worlds. As I’ll argue, AI is a dual-use technology like nuclear fission. Nuclear fission can illuminate cities or incinerate them. Its terrible power was unimaginable to most people before 1945. With advanced AI, we
